Secretary 2: A Short Film About Bile and Jism

FYC Valentine Special: "Secretary 2: A Short Film About Bile and Jism" - Krzysztof Kieslowski's straight-to-DVD social-realist sequel to the well-received erotic comedy from 2002. Scarlett Johansson plays an office admin assistant starting to feel her biological-clock ticking and her career flat-lining - feelings she tries to numb through excessive consumption of Bacardi Breezers and flirting with her unhappily married boss.

Things come to a head when she gets wasted at the office Christmas party and tries to seduce him, only to realise that he's a closet homosexual and she winds up fellating a sweaty salesman in the stockroom before vomitting on his shoes and crying for an hour.
